Popawheely Weddings

My day job, side hustle and social life all collided today.. with a special project I’ve been working on with CWA Cockburn 👰‍♀️

I’ve been supporting CWA in my role as Community Development Officer with City of Cockburn. When I learnt they were putting together a collection of old wedding dresses to do a surprise parade at their upcoming high tea and needed 10 more models… I said I could rustle up some ladies!

So began what has truly been a delightful and one-off experience. Culminating today in an immaculate high tea delivered in true CWA style with loving touches right down to the last detail.

Here’s a few photos pre-show of the sister wives. Each with a sign of the year the dress was worn. And post show celebratory sunset beverage at Gage Roads… a reception of sorts!

On this date last year I was in Broome marrying Alex and Isaac 🌻

Alex is one of my oldest friends from Augusta, and Isaac is the dream-boat of a man she met while on holiday in Broome a few years ago. The night they crossed paths, Isaac was making a rare appearance at the Roey. He spotted Alex on the dance floor and sauntered over to make his move! Well you had to be at the wedding for the full story, but basically; they fell in love and she never came back ❤️‍🔥

Now, I wasn’t going to travel all the way to Broome for just one day. So I made a holiday out of it and stayed at their house for the week. I wonder how many couples would have their celebrant stay for the whole week leading up to their wedding 🤔😂. It was a first for me! And it made for an immersive wedding experience, and a very fun holiday.

By the time their wedding rolled around, it was the seventh night of festivities for us, and I had fallen in love with their beautiful life and felt like part of the family. Their wedding was a perfectly glorious shimmering night… an embodiment of Alex’ in that stunning gold wedding dress ✨

Happy one-year anniversary Alex & Isaac… and congratulations on expecting a new baby!!
